Photonic‐Enabled Energy‐Efficient Transparent Neuromorphic Computing Devices: A Review
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Transparent photonic neuromorphic computing devices merge optics and brain‐inspired computing to overcome von Neumann bottlenecks with ultrafast, low‐energy processing. By exploiting transparent oxides, 2D materials, phase‐change materials, and hybrid heterostructures, these platforms enable photonic synapses, memory, and logic for see‐through edge ...

High Free‐Volume Imidazole‐Based Ionomers for High‐Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
Advanced Science, EarlyView.High free‐volume imidazole‐based ionomers (PF4IM‐72) enable enhanced phosphoric acid uptake and efficient proton transport, delivering peak power densities of 0.645 W cm−2 at 160 °C and 0.838 W cm−2 at 200 °C in HT‐PEMFCs. This work highlights a promising platform for next‐generation ionomers with improved high‐temperature performance and stability ...

A Review of Failure Modes and Safety Strategies of Lithium‐Ion Batteries from Materials to Systems
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A cascade‐aware framework is presented for lithium‐ion battery safety, linking thermal runaway initiation, acceleration, runaway reaction, and propagation with material‐, cell/pack‐, and system‐level interventions. By integrating failure mechanisms, quantitative safety indicators, and staged interception strategies, this review highlights how safer ...

Law, Liberty and the Rule of Law (in a Constitutional Democracy)
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011 This chapter considers the relationship between the concepts and conceptions of law and the rule of law. It begins by arguing that the ideal embedded in the concept of the rule of law cannot be logically derived from merely combining the content of the concept rule with the content of the concept law.
